Question
Answer
Decribe two types of diabetes   show
🗑
show Elevated fasting blood glucose (higher than 126 mg/dL) Polyuria,Polydipsia,Polyphagia, Glycosuria,Unexplained weight loss, Fatigue, Hyperglycemia  
🗑
Criteria for diagnosis for DM   show
🗑
show Lack of insulin production or production of defective insulin Pts need exogenous insulin. Will starve. Fewer than 10% of all diabetes cases are type 1 Complications:Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), Hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome  
🗑
what is type 2 DM   show
🗑
Often known as metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance syndrome or syndrome X   show
🗑
show hyperglycemia during preg. insulin given prevent birth defects, subsides after delivery, 30% dev. type 2 DM in 10-15 yrs  
🗑
what are major long term complications of DM   show
🗑
what are major long term complications of DM   show
🗑
show Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels higher than or equal to 110 mg/dL but less than 126 mg/dL. Screening recommended every 3 years for all patients 45 years and older  
🗑
show Type 1-Insulin therapy Type 2- Lifestyle changes, Oral drug therapy, Insulin when the above no longer provide glycemic control  
🗑
show substitute for endogenous hormone, restores pt ability to metabolize carbs, fats, proteins, store glucose in liver, convert glycogen to fat stores  
🗑
show Most rapid onset of action (5 to 15 minutes), shorter duration Pt must eat after injection May be given SC or via continuous SC infusion pump (but not IV) Insulin lispro (Humalog) Insulin aspart (NovoLog) Insulin glulisine (Apidra)-Newest  
🗑
What is short acting insulin   show
🗑
show Isophane insulin suspension (also called NPH) - Cloudy appearance Slower in onset and more prolonged in duration than endogenous insulin  
🗑
show glargine (Lantus), detemir (Levemir) Clear, colorless solution Referred to as basal insulin  
🗑
show Combination insulin products NPH 70% and regular insulin 30% (Humulin 70/30, Novolin 70/30, Novolog 70/30) NPH 50% and regular insulin 50% (Humulin 50/50)  
🗑
show SC short-acting or regular insulin to blood glucose test hospitalized pts/TPN or enteral tube feedings Subcutaneous insulin ordered that incr as blood glucose incr. Disadv: delays insulin adm. til hyperglycemia occurs; lg swings in glucose control  
🗑
when can you use oral antidiabetic drugs   show
🗑
show Glinides: Prandin, Starlix Thiazolidinediones: Actos, Avandia (glitazones) Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors: Precose, Glyset  
🗑
what are some new antidiabetic drugs   show
🗑
What is MOA of Biguanides   show
🗑
show Stimulate insulin secretion from the beta cells of the pancreas, increasing insulin levels Beta cell function must be present Improve sensitivity to insulin in tissues Result in lower blood glucose levels First-generation drugs not used as frequently  
🗑
What is MOA of Glinides   show
🗑
show Decrease insulin resistance “Insulin sensitizing drugs” Increase glucose uptake and use in skeletal muscle Inhibit glucose and triglyceride production in the liver  
🗑
What is MOA of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors   show
🗑
what is MOA of Amylin mimetics   show
🗑
show Mimics the incretin hormones Enhances glucose-driven insulin secretion from beta cells of the pancreas Only used for Type 2 diabetes Exenatide: Injection pen device  
🗑
Adverse effects of Metformin   show
🗑
show Hypoglycemia, hematologic effects, nausea, epigastric fullness, heartburn, may interact w/ alcohol cause disulfiram type reaction  
🗑
adverse effects of glinides   show
🗑
adverse effects of thiazolidinediones   show
🗑
show Flatulence, diarrhea, abdominal pain Do not cause hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, or weight gain  
🗑
what is hypoglycemia   show
🗑
hypoglycemia ss/sx   show
🗑
show Oral forms of concentrated glucose Buccal tablets, semisolid gel 50% dextrose in water (D50W) Glucagon  
🗑
if pt is NPO and on antidiabetic drug, what should you do before procedure   show
🗑
When insulin is ordered, ensure:   show
🗑
show always withdraw the regular or rapid-acting insulin first  
🗑
show self-administration of insulin injections, including timing of doses, monitoring blood glucoses, and injection site rotations  
🗑
when giving oral antidiabetic meds when should you give   show
🗑
show conscious- oral form of glucose:glucose tablets or gel, corn syrup, honey, fruit juice, or nondiet soft drink, eat crackers or a half sandwich Unconscious- give D50W or glucagon, intravenously, monitor blood glucose levels  
🗑
